My wife wants a little semi auto .22 - I want a little semi auto .22 that's REALLY accurate.
Here's what I've been considering:
1. Browning Buckmark
2. Ruger MarkII
3. Hammerli / Sig Trailside ($200 more!)
What do you think? |

While not on your list, I would take nothing for my lil Marlin model 60. I can shoot 24 out of 25 12 ga shotgun shells at 25 yards with it using iron sights. At $109.00 it is very good bargin.

I have to agree with J. That marlin is one bad to the bone, accurate, cheap, dude. Also the tube feed hold's more shell's than a ruger 10/22 rotary clip unless you can find a 30 round banana (if it's legal) clip.
You can throw that thing behind the seat of a truck, & a month later pull it out and shoot it. The one I had though, would jam a lot using the remington cheap ammo, (You know the ones that come in a over sized milk carton)but I switched to CCI's & they work great.
The only thing I found it can't take is a truck being roller over on top of it. |

| I have a buckmark. It is a great little gun. I have shot Mark II's before and even though they are also a solid gun, I belive that the buckmark has a smoother action and is more shooter friendly. Mine is deadly accurate but as with any handgun, practice is a major consideration in accuracy. |

Accuracy is similar, but I think the Browning has some small advantages:
-Smaller
-Lighter
-Adjustable sights (may have to get upgraded versions in Ruger for this)
-Clip release button (Ruger has a latch that must be moved, requires two hands)
-The chamber on the Browning is accessible from both sides, easier cleaning than the Ruger's single ejection port.
I LOVE my Ruger MKII (mine is a target version with adjustable sights), in fact I think it's the best selling of all 22 autos, but the Browning is more shooter-friendly.

I personally shoot a high standard, but in shooting a ruger with the bull barrel it put 9 in the 10 ring. Now my buddy won't let me shoot it an more. for the price you can buy a few rugers compared to the hammerli

| I've had one of Ruger MKII's with a 5 1/2" bull barrel for going on 20 yrs. Shoots good. Easy to hold. Some ejection problems but not very often. Usually when I dont give it a good cleaning. Needs to shoot copper coated 22LR. |
